Galactic Tracker, version 3.0, Released April 27, 1995
Copyright (C) 1995 Karl Eric Beisel
Important Information


Before you can run anything, you need the Visual Basic 3.0 runtime DLL, 
VBRUN300.DLL, which you should place in your Windows\System directory.  If
you need this file, you can download it from many BBSs, and Compuserve's
Microsoft forum.  Note that Galactic Tracker 2.01 and earlier required 
version 2.0 of the DLL (VBRUN200.DLL).  Version 3.0 requires version 3.0
of the DLL.

Version 3.0 Information:

(*) There is no Merge database feature in this version.  Sorry, but I just
    did not have time to finish it.  Instead, get your allies' RST files
    and load them as one of the players in the Game Properties dialog.

    Also, this program took forever to complete, since I don't have a lot
    of time to devote to this.  I didn't get much chance to really test it
    out and debug everything... I expect you'll encounter bugs.  Please
    report them if you do.  Otherwise, please enjoy!

(3)  Upgrading from older versions of Galactic Tracker/Galactic Spy:

     All registered users of Galactic Tracker/Galactic Spy 1.x may use the 
     same registration codes to register Galactic Tracker 3.0.  Version
     3.0 databases are NOT compatible with older 1.x and 2.x databases.
     You will need to start a new database from scratch.
     
     Galactic Tracker 3.0 saves databases differently than in previous
     versions.  It uses a document-style approach used by most Windows
     applications.  Galactic Tracker 3.0 saves game information in files
     with the extension *.GTD.  Galactic Tracker settings are stored in
     the GTD files as well.  For more information, see Galactic Tracker
     Help.
